Avalon School is a project-based charter middle school and high school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States, at 700 Glendale Street. As a project-based school, students meet their academic graduation requirements through a combination of independent projects, group projects, and seminars. Students' schedules vary depending on the seminars they are enrolled in and the activities they are involved with. Students spend a significant part of each day working independently on projects. The school has a flat organizational structure with no principal or director in a position of power. The staff members work collaboratively to manage the school.

The school moved to its Glendale Street location in 2011, ten years after it was founded in 2001. The new location has expanded throughout the years adding a new middle school wing and office section, replacing parts of the surrounding buildings previously owned by TakeAction Minnesota. In 2025, construction and remodeling began to move the middle school wing upstairs and expand the high school area to where the middle school was.
